Resolution Note:
Certain ScriptableObjects fields are serialised in-memory to assist with hot reloading, this covers `private bool` fields. This allows for the fields to be retained through a domain reload, these fields do not persist to disk however (only the in-memory version of the ScriptableObject will contain these fields).
To avoid this behaviour, use the `[NonSerialized]` attribute to enforce that no serialisation is performed for both the in-memory and on disk representations of the object.
